I saw this car at a car show. The owner was real proud of his car and had them for about 4 years. They felt solid and worked well. His car was very nice.

pros: If you like/need the function and look, it's a plus. If you do it, don't be cheap, use a high quality kit.

cons: If resale is important, IMO only a few people probably like that type of mod.

If you like them ...get them. I don't know many people in favor of them but it's not their car.

I assume you know what it means to assume.

quit assuming the meaning of my assumptions

ok, let me change my original post. every time I see lambo doors, I shake my head and think to myself "wow, that looks horrible. the owner must be a douche!"

I've never met someone who installed lambo doors...but I can typically look at how they're dressed or how they act and know immediately that I don't care to meet them. they could be the coolest guy in the world, but my stereotype has already been made

There's a fine line between a douche-bag, and not...
